Author Diane Kochilas gleans inspiration from rustic tavernas, her own cooking school, and local artisans to bring the vibrant food culture of Greece to life in her book, The Country Cooking of Greece. With more than 250 recipes and photographs divided into ingredient-driven chapters, the book is an indispensible resource for lovers of this Mediterranean mecca.
